Love isn’t made in a factory.

Jewelry and Valentine’s Day go together like birthdays and cake. Think valentine’s jewelry, and perhaps you think of that rare extravagance that says you’re ready to commit or simply ready to splurge to make your loved-one happy. But jewelry needn’t be extravagant to be incredibly special. In fact, what makes a gift memorable is the symbolism that goes with it – whether it represents something about the giver or the recipient. And of course, jewelry isn’t just about romance; it’s about the friendships and family bonds that are the most enduring loves of our lives.

I look at our collection and see so many ideas for valentines giving that represent a real connection between two people. Is it a place you’ve longed to see together? A bold and brilliant piece for someone with a big personality? A magical bracelet of soft green shells for your little mermaid? An animal- or nature-themed piece that brings a big smile?

I’ve always said that the jewelry we sell at Terrene tells a story. Explore our collection for Valentine’s gifts that tell a story about your relationship with someone special.

Another new designer we’ve added to the Terrene portfolio is Canada’s Diana Freiman. Her designs take Swarovski crystal to another level in everything from stunning cocktail rings to distinctive necklaces. We especially love how Diana makes cool greys anything but drab; check out the black diamond ring and grey studed necklace.

Terrene jewelry makes Mongolian history!

Terrene is proud to be a part of the Smithsonian’s stunning new touring exhibition: Genghis Khan: The Exhibition. The exhibition follows the life of this poor, illiterate Mongolian child as he becomes one of the world’s greatest conquerors. On display will be more than 200 artifacts including gold jewelry, weaponry, silk robes, currency and tomb treasures. Guests who are inspired by the ancient gold alloy and cast copper jewelry of the show can stop by the exhibition shop and purchase a fantastic array of Terrene’s own hand-made pieces from modern Mongolian artisans.

These are not your grandmother’s brooches!

As with everything the artisans at Rocha Carvao touch, their newest line of brooches combines fresh originality with a very wearable sophistication. The new brooch series is crafted in antiqued sterling silver with botanical themes. With light spring jackets, summer scarves or a simple linen sheath dress, brooches are in with a vengeance.
